Review summary

Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on Openigloo.

Recent reviews for 690 Ft Washington Avenue reveal a mixed living experience. Tenants value spacious apartments, a quiet environment, and a good neighborhood with convenient subway access. However, consistent issues arise with cleanliness, pest infestations (particularly roaches and mice), and unreliable heating and elevator services. Management responsiveness is frequently criticized, with calls for improved maintenance and better pest control. On the positive side, some find the rent reasonable and appreciate rent-stabilized options and the presence of laundry facilities, though maintenance of these is often lacking. Prospective renters should weigh the affordable space against ongoing upkeep and management challenges.
